LOL ... you are the ONLY one that caught on to this ... Yup, sure was. I
was running Alpha and Beta DOS 6.0 three years before the open release.
It was a layered install on DOS 5.5 and that is because back then I Worked for Microsoft.  I was a Network Engineer on the Microsoft Mail and then Exchange Platform. 

I started out working on Project Sparta then moved to Project Chicago. I also did a little time on cross implementation on Project Wolfpack, that was fun. Cluster install work with Windows NT and Cluster 4.0, Man the Compaq Servers were fast back then! 

MS-DOS 6.0 was finally released in Early 1993 (it was Classified stall a Beta) because Microsoft was seriously bleeding money from it .. that is what DOS-6.20 was released that November of the same year.  It gave Microsoft time to fix all the bugs. Then in June ( I think) of 1994 they released 6.22.

In September of 1996 the entire department was Fired from Microsoft Exchange Division when they shipped the entire project overseas. 

That Fall I Opened my own Consulting Business with one employee (ME) and finally retired in 2014 and sold the Business to 23 of the 96 employees. 

Now what I do all day is fuss with my BBS, get pissed off at the Propaganda News and Go fishing, Allot!
